deserted island

if you were on a deserted island, never to leave again, and all things for basic survival you already had in place, (fire, shelter, fish and fruits...) what are the 3 things you would need for your personal survival? mine would be meds, music, paper and ink, and oh yah, it would have to be 4, spiritual and philosophical books...whats yours?

ok - a local rag here asks exactly this question every issue of some person. most are like &quot;oh, Joni Mitchell's Blue...&quot; etc. Sebastien Junger (the guy who wrote the Perfect Storm) actually replied with the 5 things you would absolutely need for survival - hahaha! but my absolute favorite answer was this:

(i paraphrase) if there is one thing we know about deserted islands from literature &amp; movies, they are hardly ever deserted. there will be natives, &amp; they may be restless, or hungry, or not very polite &amp; friendly - they may not take kindly to you residence on their supposedly deserted island. so, in such a case i would bring: FLAVA FLAV! you need hype man, the kind of guy who can get those natives on your side, make the hungry for - your presence - turn them into fans!

i loved that! i don't remember any of the other things he chose to take, or even what his name was, but that has got to be the most original answer ever to this!

of course, if the islnd does prove to be deserted, you're stuck there with Flava Flav...

Let's see I would need my Cel, Computer with internet. Books all different types, paper, pens, pillows and blankets and all my religios crap. Oh and a enoughstuff to make pasta and rice I can eat. Mmmmmm pasta.

you guys are all mentioning guns, is it because you will feel more suicidal away from the outside world??? i don't think when you get in that dark, bad place it really matters where you are, and actually, an island might be the better ...then a dark bedroom...when i'm suicidal...i'm so in the tormented and hopeless prison in my own head i don't think anyone else can help me because i feel so sick and far away and seperate from everything else, so i think i'd rather be on a beautiful island with the elements....at least thats more healthy

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
